A note on evidence….

**What is “Evidence?”

The standards of evidence differ by academic discipline and you need to familiarize yourself with how scholars in your field define it. Consider the following:

• Scholars tend to be distrustful of arguments whose “proof” lies entirely in words. Language that is merely forceful or clever is seldom enough to carry a debate. Academics seldom accept anything that might fall into a “because I said so” category.

• Among the most obvious forms of evidence are measurable data, examples, and documents. A “you-could-look-it-up” standard is a high one. So too is any argument whose proofs can be tested independently or whose experiments can be verified or replicated.
